RESUMEN
Los regímenes de tratamiento no adecuado y los problemas de adherencia del paciente han ocasionado que las tasas de resistencia de Mycobacterium tuberculosis hayan aumentado en el mundo, originando así la aparición de las cepas multidrogo resistentes (MDR) y con resistencia extensa a drogas (XDR). El Perú presenta altas tasas de TB-MDR, y ya se han reportado casos de TB-XDR. Las pruebas de sensibilidad buscan detectar los casos con cepas resistentes, permitiendo otorgar el mejor tratamiento al paciente y evitando la propagación de la enfermedad a otras personas. Esta revisión de pruebas de sensibilidad dirigida al médico noespecialista, se ha enfocado en las pruebas de sensibilidad disponibles según la Norma Técnica para el control de la Tuberculosis y otras que se encuentran en investigación.
ABSTRACT
Inadequate treatment regimens and poor compliance have led to increased rates of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis around the world, leading to the emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains. In Peru MDR-TB rates are amongst the highest in the world and XDR-TB cases have been reported for almost a decade. Drug susceptibility tests detect cases with resistant strains, providing the best treatment option to the patient and diminishing the spread of the disease. This review is directed at the non-specialist physician, focusing upon the drug susceptibility testsapproved by the National TB Program of Peru and others currently still under research.
